I spent the first 15 years of my career in academic practice, developing new procedures and training the next generation of physicians in Vascular and Interventional Radiology. For the six-year period immediately prior to joining Swedish, I was the Chief of Vascular and Interventional Radiology at the University of Washington. I am fortunate enough to have had a role in the development of many medical procedures and techniques that are now routine, including Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), minimally-invasive therapy for varicose veins and venous insufficiency, and the use of stents and stent-grafts (endografts) for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease and aneurysms.

Excellence in medical care requires a long-term partnership between the patient and the provider. Though it may be judged most easily by the outcome of a single procedure, the best medical care begins long before any procedure that might be performed and lasts indefinitely.

Personal Interests

I enjoy wakeboarding, snow skiing, and biking with my wife and two young daughters.
